Captain
Scott Hamrick

Member since June 2026 Oceanside, United States
Background
As a licensed captain and lifelong waterman, I've spent years fishing the Southern California coast. I take pride in providing safe, enjoyable, and professional trips for anglers of all experience levels. From bass and halibut to rockfish and tuna, my goal is to put you on fish while creating an unforgettable day on the water.
Techniques
From trolling for pelagic species offshore to bouncing the bottom for halibut and fly-lining live bait for tuna, I enjoy a wide variety of fishing styles. Depending on conditions and target species, we may troll, drift, cast artificials, fish live bait, or work structure for bottom fish. Every trip is tailored to give guests the best opportunity for success while learning effective local techniques.
